Los Angeles Weather in April

Los Angeles has one of the world's most varied urban microclimates, shaped by the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Ana winds, and dramatic elevation changes from sea level to over 5,000 feet within city limits. Coastal neighborhoods sit inside a near-permanent marine layer that holds morning fog through noon, while inland valleys bake 15–25°F hotter in summer. Dry offshore Santa Ana wind events drive extreme fire danger and push temperatures into the 90s even in October.

Spring or fall conditions — often among the best months to visit.

Los Angeles has one of the most consistent climates on Earth. Coastal areas stay mild year-round; inland valleys can be dramatically hotter in summer and colder on winter nights. The infamous June Gloom socks coastal areas in marine layer fog May–July until midday.
